Google Scholar

I spotted this service on google.  It is easy to use, fast,  and is very accurate (though not perfect) in retrieving one's articles. It has some nice features; I particularly like the one that allows articles to be saved in BibTeX, which is attractive for those who use LaTeX.

These type of projects are interesting, when a mechanics-based one?
